I haven’t forgotten about this, it is still on my list - the weather has just been miserable lately.

Okay I will try and do that tomorrow…

any 855 remove the dip stick and hold it alongside the pan with the top even with the tube. This will tell you the dimension from the pan rail to the fluid level. The only dimension you are looking for is the fluid level below the pan rail.



I cried because I had no shoes till I met a man who had no class.

I’ve got a couple Cummins in the yard, an NH250B and a newer 400 (I don’t know how to really tell what it is by looking), let me know if I can help and I will grab what I can when it isn’t -35 out there. We have a few other older Cummins and the museum so if I don’t have it they may have one at the museum that I can measure.

Measure the height of the pan, somebody should have a Cummins with a pan of the same height for comparison, no?
I believe I found that Detroit listed a distance below the pan rail for their dipstick calibration.

Going about this crap shoot from a different angle. All the NH engines had the same stroke. You could guess all the static oil levels were the same distance below the crank center line no mater how deep or what shape the pan was. Find that distance from a known engine and set yours to it. At least it would be a place to start.

My list of pan part numbers for H and NH engines is 150 entries with the specs you're looking for but the number you've provided isn't one of em.
The high mark capacity of these pans starts at 4 US. Gal. on up to 8 US. Gal. with a handful of outliers at 12 US. Gal. all of course excluding filters ect.
All low mark capacities start from 2 US. Gal. on up to 5 US. Gal. Given that any guess without a part number would be a crap shoot.

Be careful when you follow the MASSES......sometimes the "M" is silent.

It looks like the number I found is 1689 with what looks like next to the last 9 another 9

90% of all the pan numbers are 6 digit and begin with the #1...about 18 at the end of the list start with #2. All I ever encountered where embossed in the pan casting.
